This species fascinates me for its leaf variation . 
Dinesh sir , asking you a favor ... I wish to see a full leaf with its base and petiole from this specimen. I hope you have it in your raw images . Please show it for me . 
Thank you !

Rakesh ji,
The original pic is more than 8 MB.
Let me crop it at places where we see the leaves.
Will send the cropped pics tomorrow.
Regards.

I do not click raw, just old style JPEGs. It works easy for me.

Thanks , Dinesh sir . 
Leaf in your hotos are much different than leaf I see in my area . 
Variety and subspecies were described based on leaf and calyx . 
Now this genus is revised , yet to see that paper .

Dear Rakesh ji,
Here are two cropped versions of the original picture.
The cropped versions are not resized, so what you are seeing are part of original sized photograph.
I hope you are able to see the hastate leaves almost amplexicaule, in both pictures, and hope they help you in your analysis.
Regards.
Dinesh

Sir , thanks a lot . These leaves are just like leaves from Africa belonging to subsp. angustifolia . Here in Surat I see leaves with single tip as well as tridentate tip , lamina long or short . Seeing the wire mesh I just thought I should bring one plant home and grow it in balcony !!!

Larger leaves are of some other vine. I could see no flower or fruit.

Thanks, Rakesh ji.
We had a nice discussions in this matter at Xenostegia tridentata subspecies
Latest taxonomic scrutiny, lists all subspecies under Xenostegia tridentata only.

Recently I had been to Baroda . Within City limits , I saw this plant thriving . Again I noticed , many variations of leaf shape , size and ''teeth'' on same branch . 
I think it is environmental triggers that lead to formation of different types of leaf , as the branch keeps growing .  Keeping an all inclusive single entity is the right thing Authors did .
